An appreciative vacation in one's own back yard!

Good Afternoon, or whatever is the best greeting for you, in your part of the world!

Where has the tidbitz time gone? The days have been full, since my last post of June 25th.Take time to smell the roses and appreciate your Blessings!

Doing daily what is needed to best survive! Could write a best seller or a few! LOL! The experiences Alan and I are learning,  have been most enlightening.

This weekend is the long weekend (Canada Day) and we are going to enjoy a quiet time in our bittidz garden, and also appreciating our Blessings all the more. 

On Thursday evening Alan received a call from a friend, whose house had just burned down. Can you believe it?  He and his family fortuantely, have been put up in a hotel; but the hotel does not take dogs. They have a rather large dog (a cross between a Black Lab and a Great Dane), who we have had here once before. When the owner calls up Alan and says, 'Alan, I need your help. My house just burned down.' Well there is no question as to what we would do! Plus, we receive a little tid of remuneration for our help.

As mentioned earlier, in one of the recent posts, we have been given an awesome vision!  If you wish, you can refer to my post of  Hope and Vision! which gives you a bit more of an idea.

Had certain things worked out earlier, we would have been well on our way in growing a thriving caring location for dogs. However, for now, it would appear, we are limited for many reasons; so we are working around things as best as we can.This dog is lovely and it is possible that we may have him staying with us, anywhere from 3 to 6 months. We really do miss our 'Blue' (Blueheeler / Australian shepherd cross); however, if this dog ever needed a home, we would step up to the plate.

We have checked out several options; and we have to keep trekking in FAITH and HOPE.  We know He has a good plan for us and we just have to simply and patiently TRUST AND ABIDE IN HIM, as per His Will, His Plan, and His Purpose.

Tidbit - God KNOWS ALL. He has a PURPOSE for everything.  Methinks, that gives us some tidbitz strength and reassurance.

As well as providing Alan and I with a bittidz of comfort, knowing that He sees and exposes ALL; as  per His Will, Purpose, and Plan, as in the TRUTH! As mentioned,  no one can hide anything from Him, as 'HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.'

Bittid - "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you." "Love thy neighbour, as thyself."

This is so tidbit true and Alan and I are determined to do our best, but with Him directing our Path. Things are most uncertain; however, we are grateful that we can lay all our bittid burdens at His feet. Knowing He Provides! He has sustained us thus far! We give Him thanks! No matter what bittids unfolds.

So for those of you, who have been thwarted, falsely maligned, mistreated, etc. do not give in to those dark moments. Instead, rise above it with GRACE and PRAISE HIM IN ALL THINGS. He and He alone, knows what is best for you. He has a GOOD PLAN!  Let go, cast all your cares upon Him. Remain strong and confident,  do NOT allow yourselves to be discouraged by those who do not wish the best for you.

This weekend will be a most reflective time of tidbits for Alan and I to ponder and re evaluate. Fortunately, we love each other (perhaps to some others' chagrin); but we know He will help us through all storms. We are ready, willing, and able to do what He would have us do. Again, we are Blessed and joyfully thankful we have each other and that we can enjoy our lives together day by day. Yes, it is tough going; however, we can look back and we know that He has seen us through many 'trials and tribulations.' We do have some real 'doozers' coming up; but again. we are leaving ALL the consequences to Him.



In my post (June 15th) An abundant canvas!  there is a photo of a Braveheart plant, that started from a small scattered seed and that has now really flourished forth! It found its way into a tidbitz crack of pavement and it has perservered 'against all odds'. I think that is awesome! Another one of God's special bittidz Blessings to be thankful for! Some of our neighbours are in appreciative awe as well, and we will give them some seeds. Earlier in the Spring, we gave our neighbours some Braveheart seedlings, and now their plants are flowering! Pay it forward!

Peace and God Bless.
